Meet Simba, The Pakistani Goat With Ears So Long He Might Set A World Record

Indeed, Narejo has grand plans for the little goat. “Simba’s Pakistan name must roam the whole world,” he said.

PEOPLE additionally reports that Narejo thinks Guinness should name Simba as the “Greatest of All Time” goat. Though Guinness has no such category (nor a category for goat ears), the organization is planning to send representatives to measure Simba’s ears.

In the meantime, Narejo is enjoying the boost of publicity. According to NPR, he works as a member of the ground staff of Qatar Airways at Karachi airport and raises goats in his spare time. But Simba’s newfound fame has resulted in an influx of offers to buy Narejo’s other goats.

That said, there is another side to Simba’s fame. Narejo is wary of ill-wishes from other goat farmers, and according to the BBC, he uses “prayer and traditional rites” to keep the little goat from harm.

“We recite Koranic verses and blow on him to cast away the evil eye,” Narejo said.

Simba has other problems as well. According to NPR, experts aren’t sure why Simba’s ears are so long — Anglo-Nubian goats typically have lengthy ears, but not as long as Simba’s — but the goat’s ear length could be hazardous for him.
